If you voluntarily provide personal information to us through our website or email correspondence, we may collect and use that information to respond to your inquiries or supply you with requested information

We will not use or disclose any information collected about you other than for the purpose for which you have given it to us. If personal information is to be used or disclosed for other purposes, we will take reasonable steps to seek prior consent unless we are required or authorised by law. If you consent, this may involve the provision of emails updating you on particular topics or events.

Access and alteration of personal information

You may request access to personal information we hold about you by contacting us. Changes or corrections to your personal information may also be made. On some occasions we may deny your request. In these cases, we will provide reasons and strive to arrive at a mutually satisfactory outcome.

If you have a complaint regarding the way in which your personal information is being handled by us, please contact us in the first instance. If we are unable to reach a satisfactory solution through negotiation, you can request an independent person to investigate the complaint, such as the Privacy Commissioner.

Teamwork

Working in tandem keeps us in touch.

Commitment to our clients is paramount at HBM. We are part of your family, not simply an outsourced legal service. We understand your corporate goals and work with you to achieve them. We are an integral part of your team. We use our depth of experience to give you an advantage in the highly competitive marketplace.

HBM is far more than just a law firm. Yes, we provide quality legal advice, but our expertise extends to in-house seminars, advice on procedural issues, plain English policy drafting and claims management.

Our specialist knowledge means you can focus on what you do best, leaving us to attend to legal issues and claims procedures. We talk your language. We support the industry that supports us.

HBM is ever-mindful of commercial realities, particularly in soft, competitive, dynamic markets. As a medium-sized firm with offices within minutes of Brisbane's CBD, we contain costs for our clients through reduced overheads.

We understand the need for prompt, efficient service delivery.
